(g) Event Insurance. Lynne explained that the Public Liability Insurance Policy, which we generally take out, covers 1,000 people attending over the course of the show for one million pounds, at a cost of £150. Unfortunately the next level was for 2,500 attendances at a cost of £250. As we had in excess of 1,200 people on site last year, it was decided to increase not only the level of insurance but also the cover to two million pounds.
